Fairly good. Only one issue, and it's a BIG one. Three weeks without air conditioning. No reason for that!! Customer service has been extremely slow. In addition to that, the customer service agent couldn't explain why the "out of pocket" price was so high. Stated that I needed to contact the air conditioning company and ask "why the charges are so high"? When I contacted the company and asked that very question, it was simply that my policy didn't cover the refrigerant. Why couldn't American Home Shield tell me that? It would be nice to speak with a representative that was easier to understand as well!

The only problem I have is that we know there's a leak in our A/C system. According to the company, we had to go through steps by filling up our A/C and having to pay $200 for it, before we can even order the parts to replace and fix where the leak is. The company knew we had a leak but now this process takes longer and my family is without A\C longer because we have to wait for the part all because of this unnecessary step.

I've never had a problem reaching out to the company about any problem. Although this time it took over a week for a tech to come out to repair the HVAC. Thank goodness I was leaving to go out of town for 8 days, other than that dependable and hassle free.

I was worried about jumping through a lot of hoops, but AMS was the easiest experience I can imagine. I contacted them on a Monday, had an appointment with a repair person on Tuesday. The washing machine couldn't be repaired, so I selected a brand new replacement on Wednesday. The following Wednesday, the new washer was delivered and installed.

I recently had to replace my refrigerator. I opted to get reimbursed because the area where fridge had to go was very tight. I felt better about selecting the fridge. The check was received within a week. Hardest part of talking with American Home Shield is when I get a representative on the line that has very broken English.

I've used them several times in the last year. I always got contacted quickly by the tradespeople who came here and fixed the problems. I've more than gotten my money's worth, especially calling for plumbers and electricians, both of which, even counting the $100 fee per call, would have cost more than the yearly cost of AHS.

We really liked them last year. We had a couple of appliance problems, and they were really great with good customer service. This year, our AC went out, and it was a completely different experience. The AC company that they work with is extremely shady. The guy who came to go over numbers with us was the most bullying salesman I have ever encountered, and was so rude and off-putting that I got rather contentious with him. Once he figured out that he couldn't take advantage of us, it was clear he was ready to leave. Then, he told us that AHS would be paying $2000 (and was still going to charge us a huge amount out-of-pocket), but when we went to ask for a cash-in-lieu offer from them (because we didn't trust him to do the work or give us a fair price), they said that he invoiced them for $340, so that's all they would give us. They had no process for appealing or changing that number. I think that the AC contractor (Air Dynasty) is charging them practically nothing so that they will continue working with him while trying to get all the cash out of the customer, but telling the customer that AHS is paying a lot more so that they don't feel unfairly treated. I could never get them to understand that or even to send me the invoice that he had sent them, so all I got out of them for a $10,000 AC replacement was $340. I would say, if someone has old appliances, it may be worth the investment, but with issues involving more labor such as AC and plumbing, it is not worth it.

The experience I had they sent out masterpro to my home bad service they kept stating it was the lint screen and I told them that was not it. I purchase a new one and dryer still did not dry call masterpo manager said because I gave her service tech bad review he will not come back out and she as a manager rude which I did not want that tech back out he was here like 15 minutes. That company American shield sent out there should drop them and read the reviews with company and manager one star. When I tried to to speak with manager at American took three days kept getting the run around until my son tried and told them we not hanging up. After all that American shield got A E factory out and Dave service tech was excellent and he died the problem and it's like I have a new dryer.

Generally on simple request AHS does well. Now trying to replace a water heater recently it has taken almost two weeks for AHS to move on the issue. I spent countless hours trying to resolve issues with overseas call centers that were useless. AHS essential has customer service agents that must work in closets without any contact to other AHS departments and can only read from scripts. Worse if you call more than once the narrative changes. The call center agents have no understanding of the issue or how to resolve it. The customer has no means to recitify a problem with an AHS decision of repair. The customer agent doesn't apparently have that tool either. Corporate resolution is not possible since the executive staff is insulated from the customer. While after doggedly pursuing a resolution the service provder was able to convince AHS to change their decision of repair.

Very conflicted on my answers, up until recently I have felt very positive about AHS, but issues with an air conditioner claim has rapidly changed my outlook. I have spoken with a customer rep twice and both were polite but seemed limited on the information they could share with me. I have requested copy of my contract and copy of cost of materials neede for repair and have yet received them. I would love to be able to speak with a person authorized to address my questions but it seems difficult to do so and this causes trust issues. We have heard some unfavorable stories of other‚Äôs experiences and I am hoping for better results!!!

My first call to AHS was for a garbage disposal. It was replaced, no issue. While I had the plumber at my house, I asked him why my water pressure was so low. He checked and told me my water regulator needed to be replaced. He said he couldn't replace it because he didn't have my type on his truck, but to call AHS and request they send out this same plumber. I put in another claim for the regulator and asked for the same plumbing company because they were aware of the problem and knew what I needed. Instead they sent another company that came out and said they needed to replace the regulator but added more things. AHS would only pay a certain amount to replace it. I spoke with someone at AHS, they said it wasn't covered. The person I spoke did not speak English very well and wasn't sure what a regulator was. I asked to speak to a supervisor, in the U.S. They said I would have to call back and hope to get someone in the US. What a runaround. They finally agreed they would pay me a certain amount if I wanted to go to a plumber of my choice. The amount would not cover the cost of the part and the service charge. There were so many rules for them to give me the amount that I declined their offer. I chose to have a friend replace the item for a fraction of the amount a plumber would have charged.

Usually good repair people. However, some do not explain things very well & Customer must insist on invoice for work done. AHS must make sure contractor follows contract with AHS. In the past I have been given an invoice copy, without asking. Lately I've been told that "everything is paperless". Some contactors have emailed the invoice copy to me. Others have not; which means I must call contactor & request it & report that their employee did not follows AHS contract.

The first time I tried to use AHS it was great - Crockett Lock rekeyed my house and they were very nice. The second time i needed AHS concerned my air conditioner It was on a Saturday and our AC wasn't cooling. I called and they charged me the $75 and gave me a provider and they wouldn't be open till Monday. My husband had a stroke 1 1/2 years ago and its hard for him to be without air. I called AHS back and they ( after about 1 hour of questioning) gave me permission to call another AC company that could come right out. They said that they weren't on their bad list ! I called McWilliams and Sons ( the approved company) and they said that they could come right out BUT that they didn't work with AHS and that we would have to pay the service charge of $80. We did and they came and fixed it. I tried to get my money back from AHS since I had to pay the other company. When I called I just got the run around. The next time I tried to use AHS I had a problem with the gas line to my gas stove. I called and they said that wasn't covered even though I had been told that they covered that. I hope we don't have a problem with our gas heater - they probably won't cover that either ! I did my research and really thought this was a good company BUT I am very disappointed in the service that I have gotten so far. Everyone that I have talked to when I called in was VERY hard to understand.

The online service request process is very easy but I did not like that I had multiple issues with the same type of service provider needed but it would not allow me to request service for multiple issues without filling out a new request.

They always seem to find a way not to cover items. Plumbing repair: they send out inexperienced plumbers/contractors who on many occasions incorrectly misdiagnosed a problem, said it was not covered, I had to personally fix the problem at my own expense. It was a simple fix which only required a change of cartridge. It took time and youtube videos to figure it out. Be aware of the lazy high water pressure diagnosis by their subcontractors. I have 2 houses and they used it on both. Of course AHS will not cover, however the subcontractor will offer to fix at a cost between $250.00 to $800.00 depending on the company. The customer service is poor. Typically, I spoke to someone and there was a language barrier. They don't record prior problems well, so every time you have to rehash the problem. On a positive note, I have had great experience with their appliance subcontractors and that is why I have kept the policy.

I had to pay out of pocket when the plumber that came to my house couldn't locate the problem through our clean outs on the ground and had to get on the roof to snake down the vents because getting on the roof wasn't covered. So that was $300+ out of pocket on top of the $75 deductible I had already paid to AHS. Then, our AC went out for the 2nd time in 3 months with 100 degree temps and a baby in our house and they would not find us a local contractor to get our system working emergently but instead assigned us a contractor from 3.5 hours away that wouldn't come for 2 more days. I just canceled my service request, called a 24 hr HVAC technician that was local, and paid out of pocket.

I have had a good experience with having to have service done in my home with AHS, that part is pretty easy to do, I wish in scheduling service there was a better procedure to explain the problem other than just a drop down that you have to find the best answer that fits. However, it is difficult to get someone on the phone in customer service, it's hit or miss getting someone that can help you with an issue. I don't like feeling that I am going around in circles just to get a simple question answered.

AHS is very good at honoring there contract service. If an item cannot be fixed they will replace it. They also will send the best rep. to do what they can to resolve any issues, be it appliances or what you have signed up for in your contract.

We have had a great experience with AHS overall these past three years. I only dropped a star because AHS recently increased our premiums but did not communicate that to us ahead of time. I received an email May 17 letting me know that our warranty would be renewed & our credit card charged in June for the upcoming year... but there was no mention of an increase in fees. Thankfully, a quick call to customer service yesterday cleared things up and our representative gave us a credit for two months. That was very kind and honorable given the previous lack of communication on AHS's part.
